FORBIDDEN COLORS, by Yukio Mishima. A diabolic story of a staggeringly handsome young homosexual who systematically attracts and frustrates women, cunningly told by an author who is Japan's answer to Papa-san Hemingway...
White would-be vigilantes more than match them. The gun-run is naturally heaviest in areas of recent riots. In Michigan, Dearborn's racist Mayor Orville L. Hubbard exhorted townsfolk to "take up arms, learn to shoot and be a dead shot." Close to 500 Dearborn women are taking regular pistol practice; similar distaff firearm courses are under way from Redondo Beach, Calif., to DeKalb County, Georgia, to Dallas, where 1,000 women have completed a pistol program in recent months...
Colonel Xu's infantry tactics reflect the lessons he learned during the Tet offensive when he threw whole battalions into the city only to see them badly battered.

His arrest of some 175 prostitutes had given him, he said, "a sort of bad attitude toward women in general. I know all women aren't prostitutes, but I think subconsciously it affects me. I go out with a lot of real nice girls and I just can't seem to, you know, get really attached to them." When Hersey asked him if he thought women...
